Fathym Atomic Icons

Fathym’s Atomic Icons is a library that supports the optimized creation of customzied icon sets for delivery via Deno Fresh.

Getting Started

To get started, you can add an import map to your deno configuration.

"imports": {
  ...
  "$atomic/icons": "https://deno.land/x/fathym_atomic_icons/mod.ts",
  ...
},

Basic Sprite Configuration

If you have an existing SVG sprite sheet, you can use it by placing it in the static folder of your Deno Fresh project. If you want to start creating your own icon set sprite sheet, you can start from this one:

<svg
   xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
   xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
 >
    <defs>
        <symbol viewBox="0 0 16 16" id="x-circle"><g fill="currentColor"><path d="M8 15A7 7 0 1 1 8 1a7 7 0 0 1 0 14zm0 1A8 8 0 1 0 8 0a8 8 0 0 0 0 16z"></path><path d="M4.646 4.646a.5.5 0 0 1 .708 0L8 7.293l2.646-2.647a.5.5 0 0 1 .708.708L8.707 8l2.647 2.646a.5.5 0 0 1-.708.708L8 8.707l-2.646 2.647a.5.5 0 0 1-.708-.708L7.293 8L4.646 5.354a.5.5 0 0 1 0-.708z"></path></g></symbol>
        
        <symbol viewBox="0 0 24 24" id="check-circle"><path fill="currentColor" d="m10.6 16.6l7.05-7.05l-1.4-1.4l-5.65 5.65l-2.85-2.85l-1.4 1.4l4.25 4.25ZM12 22q-2.075 0-3.9-.788t-3.175-2.137q-1.35-1.35-2.137-3.175T2 12q0-2.075.788-3.9t2.137-3.175q1.35-1.35 3.175-2.137T12 2q2.075 0 3.9.788t3.175 2.137q1.35 1.35 2.138 3.175T22 12q0 2.075-.788 3.9t-2.137 3.175q-1.35 1.35-3.175 2.138T12 22Z"></path></symbol>
    </defs>
 </svg>

With our sprite sheet in hand and references added, we can now use the basic <Icon /> control. You’ll need to import the Icon and then use it in your JSX

import { Icon } from "$atomic/newicons";

<Icon src="./icons.sprite.svg" icon="x-circle" />

<Icon src="./icons.sprite.svg" icon="check-circle" />

You can also leverage tailwind styles to start controlling the icons look and feel:

import { Icon } from "$atomic/icons";

<Icon
  src="./icons.sprite.svg"
  icon="x-circle"
  class="text-red-500 w-[50px] h-[50px]"
/>;

Icon Sources

Any SVG can be shifted into a sprite sheet, the following provide a nice place to find the icons you want to use in your organizations customized icon set.

Naming Icons in an Icon Set

It can be tempting to want to leverage the ids of the icons you pull in from a library. However, we recommend that you rename them to fit a more generic usage. For example, instead of using the Icones id material-symbols-check-circle, we like to use something like close. This makes it simple from an atomic usage perspective, as anywhere a close icon is needed, we use this icon.
